Verdict

Tricky race. BOSSY BENITA (4) is the one with some upside that resumes here having last been seen over 1600m in a good race at Flemington. She's certainly speedy enough to be figuring over this trip and has jumped out well leading in. ENNA'S DREAM (7) has been scratched a couple of times in the past few weeks but looks well placed again if here. Didn't manage a win last time in but largely raced against better opposition and should take beating. THINKING OF GERTY (6) continues to race well, just finding one better at her past four starts. Sets up well from the inside draw and will take catching again. SHE DARESTHE DEVIL (10) has been good in two runs back from a spell and does drop in class for this third-up assignment. Looks a strong chance. TANGO JEWEL (1) maps ideally and looks well placed back in grade.
